I found a way to make Keto milk a little more palatable. I mix it ahead of time in a rubbermaid-type 1 qt bottle, and refigerate it at least overnight before using. A dash of cream helps the flavor as well.

Thanks for all the product reviews. I will be buying by first Keto products tomorrow at the store. I cannot take one more morning without cold cereal. I am willing to brave the milk!

I have had good experiances with some of the products so far. I like the bars, most of them so far. My one bad experiance was a bar called Cool Cappaccino I picked up at Whole Foods Market - The 'coffee' taste
came from actual GROUND COFFEE. Surprise - ground coffee tastes exactly like coffee grounds.

As far as bad taste goes, I remember all to well the taste of the many a cheap Wal-Mart cookie I ate. If I am compromising taste, atleast there is no cellulite to go along with it.

As for the shakes, my husband got one sip thru the first chocolate shake before out came the blender and 1 packet of splenda and a touch of heavy cream later and he was finally content to drink it.

Me, I need to put a little heavy cream in them to kill that chocholate and water (Slim-Fast-ish) taste.

I've figured out a system of enhancing the Keto Golden Original Pancakes. When you are making the 3 pancake serving, add one egg and about a heaping TBSP of flaxseed meal, and sprinkle with cinammon or nutmeg.

This makes them extra fluffy. Extra egg is a wonderful LC addition to LC bake mixes.

To give the pancakes an orange flavor with an additional nutrition boost, add 1 dry tsp of Ket-O.J.

Hi,

I haven't seen the following products mentioned in this thread, so thought I'd bring them up.

The first is a breath mint called Blitz Sugar Free Powermints. It is made with Splenda and comes in several flavors. Nutritional and other information can be found here: http://www.deepdiscountnutrition.com/blitpow.html

I love 'em!

Another produce my husband and I tried this weekend while on a road trip and needing a sweet fix is the Baskin Robbins hard candy (found at Wal-Mart). I bought a package each of the Fruit Medley (Strawberry, Orange and Raspberry) and the Mint Chocolate and we enjoyed every flavor. My hubby commented that it seemed amazing that something that tastes so good could be a "diet" candy.

The package lists the following:

TOTAL CARBOHYDRATE 15 GM
Sugars 0
Isomalt 15 gm

A serving size is 4 pieces.

Now...it says the candy is sweetened with Splenda, but it contains 15 gm Isomalt. I don't know what that means, but I do know that's 0 net grams carbs for us! If you haven't tried them, do!

I'll second the fact that the Ketato mix (I had the bacon/chive one) was completely nasty. You're better off making the mashed cauliflower w/ heavy cream.

Hello all,

Here are some of my opinions on LC products that I recently tried.

LeCarb Icecream-Chocolate Almond, after putting it in the microwave for 10 seconds the taste and texture was just like regular icecream. They definitely don't skimp on the almonds. I also tried the Vanilla and Cinnamon, again good texture on both but taste wise they didn't stand out for me.

CarbSlim Bites in Peanut Butter-Milk chocolate coating outside of a crispy Crunch like candy shell with a nice mild peanut butter flavor center. The size and shape are similar to Whoppers candy.
These were really good and can get very addiciting! Thank goodness these aren't made with Maltitol, otherwise I would have had my normal stomach upsets when eating LC chocolate candy.

Keto Ketchup-Taste and texture is just like Heinz ketchup, just a bit sweeter.

Carbsense Tortilla Chips in Pico de Gallo-These were a bit grainy, after adding shredded cheese, green onions and salsa I couldn't really tell.
So far these are the best tasting LC tortilla chips I have had.

Just the Cheese-These were too salty to me and left a greasy aftertaste in my mouth.

Carbense Garlic & Herb Pizza Crust Mix-I followed the exact directions but the pizza crust came out grainy and rubbery. I put it back in the oven for an additional 10 minutes but it was still not edible. The garlic and herbs made my kitchen smell like a pizzeria, but the crust just did not come out right. It could have just been a fluke with my oven.

That's all for now.

Why bother with KETO milk? Use some half and half. There are zero carbs. Its very satifying and will stick with you longer.

Half and half does have carbs...about 10.4 grams per cup. Heavy cream (whipping cream) has 6.5 grams of carb per cup.
You need to be careful with labels and serving sizes. Usually cream or half and half lists the serving size as 1 tablespoon which has less than 1 gram of carb, so legally they can label it as zero grams per serving. That doesn't mean that there are no carbs in it at all, just that the amount in one serving is small enough that they can say zero.

I bought these today and I think they are awful The corn chips are like paper no flavor and the Just the Cheese has a good flavor but the consistency is YUK. Anyone else tried these? I am opening a low carb food store in Sylvania, Ohio next month and I would like to know some great products to put in it including a good tortilla chip. Thanks.

I didn't like Just the Cheese either, too salty to me.

Some yummy items you should consider in your future store:
LeCarb Icecream
Atkins Icecream cups
Glenny's Fudgies Brownies, Rasberry and Mint
Carbsense Tortilla Chips

thanks so much

I liked the Keto chips before they "improved" them. The Nacho Cheese ARE better than the plain. DON'T try the "Keto Keeters" unless you have nothing to live for!

I really DO prefer the Keto bars to Atkins, though. The fruit spreads are delicious, too!

You'll find many opinions here in the forum, so happy hunting!

The new ketato mix is great! Not the rubbery consistency of the old ones. And their bars are getting better, too

The newest LC tortillas to hit the market, "Adios Carbs", are quiet good.

They are available in two sizes, regular & burrito, as well as several flavors (plain, jalapeno, red chile, garlic and CHOCOLATE). I've found them at synerydiet:

They are a bit higher in carbs, but well worth it for the taste.

Happy hunting,
